9.—Party problems:

a) An immediate convention of the party.

b) Consideration of the party program, mainly: (i) On Imperialism and the imperialistic war; (2) Our relation to government and our demand for a "government-Commune;" (3) The alteration of our minimum program.

c) Change of the name of the party.[1]
